I have added sources for William Allison-3105 born on August 4, 1774, and baptized at Guinston Presbyterian Church. William's wife, Janet Gemmell, is identified in the sourced York County History.
I researched every early Allison family in York County, PA. I did not find a William Allison born on March 18, 1788. The difference between 1788 and 1774 is 15 years. For a merge there are major problems.
William Allison, b. 4 August 1774 (Pennsylvania); baptized on 4 September 1774, at Guinston, in York County, Pennsylvania; m. Janet Gemmell/Gemmill (her grandfather was William Gemmell/Gemmill). This William was a son of Gavin (1716-1782) and Jean (Wallace) Allison.
William Allison-7138 could not have been married to Janet Gemmell also. Is a correction needed to William Allison-7138?
